The Backroad EKAR 1x13 is a fast all-rounder with racing genes that exudes the gravel spirit with every single carbon fibre.
With the mechanical 1x13 drivetrain, the built-in Campagnolo Ekar groupset manages to combine fine gear steps and a wide range with the shifting comfort of a single speed crank like no other. In addition to the frame and fork, the seat post, crank and wheels are also made of carbon. The latter were specially designed by Campagnolo for gravel use and are fitted with the fast and lightweight Continental Terra Speed tyres in 40 mm width.
The bottom line for the Backroad Ekar is not only a record-breaking 8.2 kg, but also optimum stiffness values and damping properties. The best conditions for long days with plenty of kilometres.
More long distance | Endurance
Flex is fun: The deep cut-out in the seat tube provides a massive increase in comfort, while the balanced frame geometry offers perfect handling on the road, gravel and technical terrain. Only a dry throat can stop you.
More off-road | Action
The frame and fork allow for a tyre width of up to 45 mm with 700c and up to 47 mm with 650b wheels. For rougher road conditions, perfectly adapted protectors at the down tube and chainstays protect the paint.
More experience | Adventure
Thanks to its many attachment points for bottle cages, Anything Cages or bags, the Backroad offers ultimate versatility, perfect for a day trip or bikepacking adventures.
